If contenders describes any 50+ win team, then yeah they can be contenders. But they'd get owned in a 7-game series against the Lakers, Spurs or Thunder.

Disagree, Jamal Crawford's shooting makes them a completly different team this year. A legit contender. They have the size, speed, shooting and overall depth to go deep in the playoffs. They had OKC's number last year and they have improved alot since then
